Dani and Jemma ran a great day out. Dani's knowledge and connection to country was inspiring and the information she shared enhanced the day. Given timing of our trip some aspects weren't able to be done (recent floods impacting) but we were thrilled with what we managed to do. Nourlangie Rock is a special area. There were plenty of toilet and snack stops along the way too. Thank you Dani for sharing your stories!

Great trip overall! Our driver Tim was amazing and truly made the tour fun and engaging, especially considering how much driving was involved. There was definitely a lotttt of time in the car, but he kept the energy up the entire trip with interesting stories, commentary about the scenery, and great explanations at each stop. I especially appreciated the time he took to share stories and cultural context at the rock art sites—it made those moments feel much more meaningful and memorable rather than just quick photo stops. There were lots of stops throughout the day, but they helped break up the long drives on the way out. On the way back only one stop. But after a long day that’s what you want. . Each location had something unique to offer, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. If you go in expecting a full day with significant travel time, you will have a great experience. The crocodile tour guide was also hilarious and so much fun—very entertaining while still professional and knowledgeable. Everything ran smoothly and followed what was promised in the itinerary. Overall, a really enjoyable trip with great guides who made the long day worthwhile!
One day Kakadu delivers for a good first area experience.

A great intro into Kakadu National Park. This is a very large Park so would need to do more than one day to get a true experience. The tour is a great way to learn about the the flora and fauna of the north. The landscapes are impressive. Dani the trip leader is a true local with fantastic knowledge of the area, history, culture. Very informative and insightful throughout the trip. Lots of birds, reptiles etc. to see and identified by the leader.

Unfortunately, the drive was a little long, but it was still worth it. I have the same guide Lee again, who made the ride with his Australian humor very entertaining. Again a lot of information very entertaining put forward! Also the ride on the Adelaide River was great with the crocodiles jumping out of the water
Great day out and so many things to see.

We went on the trip with Leih. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about every site we visited along with other information about the territory. It’s a long trip but I’d advise everyone to go on it. Bring your charger and a good pair of shoes because there’s so much to look at and photo.
